The Samsung Galaxy S25 series has dominated the headlines for weeks, but with its latest flagship launch, a new challenger has emerged: the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL. While the Galaxy S25 Ultra’s camera prowess still reigns supreme, the Pixel 9 Pro XL presents a strong alternative with its unique features and competitive pricing.
The Pixel 9 Pro XL boasts ultra-wide selfies, a different take on Android, and an impressive camera setup, albeit without the 200MP main sensor or periscope of the S25 Ultra. However, the Samsung Galaxy S25 has a performance advantage, thanks to its Snapdragon 8 Elite chip.
When it comes to pricing, the Pixel 9 Pro XL starts at $1,000 for a 256GB model, while the S25 Ultra begins at $1,300. But the Pixel’s price edges out the S25 when considering similar storage options. The two flagships also have cheaper alternatives: Google’s Pixel 9 starts at $650, and Samsung’s budget offering, the Galaxy S24 FE, features a faster Exynos chip.
Both companies offer tablets with similar specs, including 10.9-inch displays and stylus support. However, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE has an edge in terms of battery size (8,000mAh) and charging speed (45W), making it a better option for power users.
Ultimately, whether you choose the Pixel 9 Pro XL or the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra depends on your priorities: camera quality vs. performance, price vs. features, or style over substance.
